Genesis 4-5 Give Your Best To God

Genesis 4:4-5 

 ⁴And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
 ⁵But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

I used to think why did God get mad at Cain, because Cain did give something to God.  But God just don't want us to give something for the sake of giving.  God wants our attitude in the gift.  How are you giving the gift?  With joy?  With love?  Is it the best gift that you can give?

Keep reading Genesis this week.  Read with all your heart as a gift to God.

Genesis 1-3 The World Puzzle

Genesis 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

January is Bible month for our teen group.  The teen challenge is, "Who can read the most chapters in Genesis this week."  There are 50 chapters in this book and I'm looking forward to see who reads them all.

The above verse made me remember the world map.  I love looking at the world map because it's like a giant puzzle.  South America looks like it could fit in Africa and so on.  Verse 10 shows that God called the different water areas seas.   It appears the God created the land first and then had it divided by the seas.  Boy, I bet that had to be one massive move.

But the biggest move is when we accept Jesus as our Saviour and start living for Him.  Remember what God did for you and thank Him today.

Dec. 25th - Jesus, Standing at the Door

Rev. 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Have you ever not opened a door because you knew who it was at the door?  Have you not answered your phone because you  recognized the number and didn't wan't to talk to that person?

This verse says that Jesus is at the door knocking.  What a blessing that Jesus would even want to come to us and knock.  What is more amazing is that we'll let Him keep on knocking.

Jesus says 'IF' we open the door then He will come in and eat with us.  Jesus wants to come into your life and be with you.  Open your Spiritual Door and let Him in today.  He's knocking.

Dec. 24th Rev 1:1 - 2:29 Present yourself as a present to God

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

What a blessing to know that God sends His angels to help.  Sometimes we are unaware of angels around us.  But what if we could see angels, would that spur us to be more diligent to serve God?  It shouldn't.  Just knowing that God came down as a baby knowing He was going to die for us, should be enough for us to lovingly serve Him.

God, may I give you the gift of service as a present for your birthday.
